The Fell Cyclops is a boss of Enshrouded in the Albaneve Summits: a Cyclops the Shroud has taken. Killing the one called the Evil Eye is part of the quest Ignite The Coldest Elixir Well, and its head pays for Flame level 7. It resists blunt and ice damage and takes extra from fire and Shroud. It fights at level 32.
Fell Cyclops Location
Marked by the main quest Ignite The Coldest Elixir Well. The well lies under the mountain inside the Shroud, north-east of the Albaneve Summits Ancient Spire. Reach it from a frozen lake far below the Forges of Obsidia: drop south-west off the cliffs, cross the bridge over the lake and follow the long tunnel; a flame shrine stands outside the entrance. Trying to walk there through the nearby caves does not lead to it.

Abilities
| Ability | Effect | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Eye Laser (line) | Fires a beam from its eye that runs along the ground and then straight at you. | Dodge sideways. |
| Eye Laser (tracking) | Keeps a beam on you as its head turns to follow your movement. | Keep moving and circle round until you reach its back, then hit it there. |
| Eye Laser (sweep) | Swings a beam rapidly side to side; it uses this when you stand at mid to close range. | Dodge backward the moment it starts, or stay far enough away that it does not use it. |
| Earth-Rupture Slam | Brings both hands down to crack the ground in a heavy slam. | Jump just before its hands hit the ground. |
| Launching Slam | Hits the ground in a way that throws nearby players high into the air; the slam itself deals no damage, but the fall can kill. | Open the glider while airborne to land safely. |
| Hammer Swing | Swings or slams its hammer when you are close. | Keep your distance or dodge out of the swing. |
| Stomp | Stomps when you stand under it, releasing Shroud in a small area. | Do not stay under its feet. |
Resistances and Weaknesses
Weaknesses:
- Fire damage is effective.
- Shroud damage is effective.
Resistances:
- Resists Blunt and Ice damage.
- Takes normal damage from Cutting, Piercing, Poison and Shock.
How to Beat the Fell Cyclops
- Stack frost resistance from armor and food before the trip; the region is bitterly cold and running out of frost time brings fatal hypothermia. One guide advises at least +15 Frost Resistance.
- Expect two timers at once, the frost timer and the Shroud timer, since the well sits inside the Shroud.
- Work through the well: three Shroud Roots stand inside, and the Cyclops guards the last. The route has a flying Fell mage, a horde with explosive barrels you can shoot, a crane area with a grapple point, updraft glides, and a Fell critter nest to break near the second root. A grapple point next to the second root leads up to the boss room.
- Bring fire or Shroud weapons and leave ice and blunt weapons behind.
- Keep moving to avoid the eye lasers and work your way behind it.
- Stay back far enough to read each attack, then punish its recovery.
- Kill the Fell Cyclops before cutting the third Shroud Root.

The Fell Cyclops Head is the boss item for strengthening the Flame from level 6 to level 7. Flame level 7 raises Shroud time to 11 minutes, the attribute bonus to 6 and the Shroud Passage Level to 7. The same upgrade also takes 10 Survivors, 40 Spark, 40 Wool, 40 Gentian, 40 Ice, 40 Granite and 40 Flammable Goo.
Lore
Northern soldiers pushed into the frozen barrens and built Elixir Wells there, poisoning the mountain's snow and its ancient inhabitants; the Flame sends you to the main well to destroy the corrupted evil hiding inside. The quest calls the boss the 'Evil Eye' and tells you to behead the one-eyed monsters in the well. Its head belongs to a Shroud-infested Cyclops and still has bad breath; the eye is a huge, unblinking orb full of Shroud power.
Notes
- Ignite The Coldest Elixir Well comes from The Flame after A Spinning Machine For The Hunter and Cooking Warm Food, and rewards a Fell Cyclops Head.
- Only one Enshrouded Cyclops Eye drops per kill, so players refight it to farm eyes.
- The eye goes into frost gear and spells such as Eternal Frost Arrow II, Frostbite Slasher Hood, Hailcaster Hat, Invisible Barrier, Shroud Beam Channel and Wolf's Fang Hood.
- Enshrouded Cyclops Eye is an epic, level 33 material that stacks to 250.
- A Hunter crafts the Fell Cyclops Trophy from 2 Wood Planks, 1 Fell Cyclops Head and 2 Nails; it gives +1 comfort.
- It is a different enemy from the plain Cyclops of the Albaneve caves and the Hollow Cyclops of the Hollow Halls; the Hollow Cyclops is weak to Blunt, which the Fell Cyclops resists.
- Flame level 7 still leaves the frost timer running inside a base in the Summits; the next upgrade is needed for indoor frost protection.
- Save Gentian flowers before the fight; the Flame upgrade that uses the head needs 40.
